Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 March 2013
317. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason a number of taxi drivers have not registered on the driver check app despite the National Transport Authority's completion date of 31 January for final date of registration; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15468/13]
View answerThe regulation of the taxi industry is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the Public Transport Regulation Act, 2009 and the NTA is also the lead agency with responsibility for implementation of the recommendations of the Taxi Regulation Review Report 2011, including the implementation of the new taxi driver check smartphone app. I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
